Nutrition

Food and Nutrition Education in Communities enables low-income families to make significant improvements in their diets and food practices which can contribute to self-sufficiency. CCE is helping to reduce the incidence of childhood obesity and alleviate chronic disease prevalence through improved nutrition. CCE educators work with schools, communities, and individuals to help people take personal responsibility for wellness and change the food system and the environment to promote healthful eating and active living.
